Hi @rosexxxx,
I definitely feel for your daughter. Speaking from experience it is very painful and frustrating when you don't have a clear answer. My pain was medication induced. All the things I was taking after my bypass were cause ulcers in the bypassed portion of my stomach. I vomited every day and had trouble staying hydrated.
Is your daughter currently taking any medication?

Hi Amanda, and I feel for all that you have gone through. I hope that things have cleared up for you. Yes my daughter is taking antidepressants and medication for severe abdominal pain. The frustrating thing about these disorders is that the symptoms can cause depression and the depression can cause the symptoms. Her bariatric surgeon said he "thought" he saw a shadow on her small intestine near the stomach but no scaring. If her vagus nerve was damaged it would cause all these problems. she only vomited three times in the last few months but the problem is the daily nausea, severe abdominal cramps and slow motility . Also occasional headaches. She is trying to make an appointment at stanford clinic for further diagnosis. There is always the vagus nerve stimulator but if you have/had ulcers that would not be applicable. i really appreciate your responding and your courtesy. Rose Marie
